    If one woman can give birth to a baby in 9 months, then 9 women can do it in one month.

    Heard that as an example of tasks that do not work in parallel in project management.

      An engineer I worked with once yelled to a manager that “You can’t paint a toilet with ten people!”. I loved that guy, always had one-liners like these ready.
